Arknights is too real, right?

In this way, with some unpleasant negative emotions, the reserve army of 300,000 people divided into two groups and rushed towards the junction, trying to intercept the army of infected people outside the northern hinterland.

Even if they can't be repulsed, they still have to buy time for the Central Army, which is regrouping, and the Northern Military Region, which is inexplicably "out of control."

3 days later.

The reserve troops divided into two groups completed the tasks assigned to them by the empire and successfully delayed the infected people's attack on the northern hinterland.

However, the delay was a bit short.

In a few days, the vast army of infected people on the Long March finally arrived in Jianan City, and then all entered the north according to Xia Feng's instructions on the front line.

A rough estimate puts the total number at least around 1.2 million.

One of the reserve forces of the Empire's Division of Forces Operation first fought with 250,000 elites led by Xia Feng personally in Beiyuan City.

In the impression of normal people, although the infected are individually powerful, they are never able to compete with the regular army in large-scale wars.

But in this battle, this conventional impression was completely overturned.

The 250,000 infected people led by Xia Feng personally were like an army of wolves and tigers. The reserve troops felt that they were not facing humans at all, but a group of sinister soldiers from hell.

With sufficient support from Originium, this elite group of infected people has turned the battlefield into a circus.

To put it simply, we know all the types of Originium skills you have seen in the world of Terra, and if you have never seen them before, they will perform them for you for the first time.

A total of 250,000 people, we have all the Originium skills you like.

All in all, we are serious about Originium skills. There is nothing we can't do, only what you can't think of.

Throughout the battle, these soldiers felt like they were in a dream.

The pillars of fire rising into the sky are like natural disasters sent by the gods, and the ice spikes rising from the ground are like the divine punishment of the Ice Goddess.

In addition, even the Central Military Army is rarely equipped with armed helicopters and Originium guns, which seem to be free of charge.

These soldiers who had retired once never imagined that one day the regular army would be defeated by a motley army of infected people and would be unable to fight back.

Of course, having no power to fight back may be a bit inaccurate.

Strictly speaking, it should be that you throw a punch and the opponent hits you with a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. You throw a brick and the opponent throws back a nuclear bomb.

One of the reserve troops who was ordered to rush to Kitahara City from the hinterland of the north to stop the elite advance team of infected people was defeated after fighting for less than 3 hours.

150,000 people have tried various formations, but they still can't drive away these infected people who can't be measured by common sense. Moreover, even if you take a step back, they are not as numerous as the other party.

As for another reserve team of 150,000 people, they were directly inserted into Fulai City, which was the first to be captured.

At this time, most of the infected people gathered in Fulai City were troops who had just marched from Jianan City. Compared with the elite team led by Xia Feng himself, the equipment and combat effectiveness of these infected people were relatively poor.

However, this still cannot be a reason to be defeated.

With Fulai City as their frontline, the infected were very motivated to fight.

Fulai City could not be captured for a long time. In the end, the reserve troops attacking the city were even chased for more than 10 kilometers by the infected who rushed out of the city.

Afterwards, the commander of the reserve forces reported to the General Military Headquarters the reason for the failure of the attack.

[There is no way, there are too many of them. 】

When Frey knew the news, he was furious.

If the quality of the table at the headquarters was not of good enough, he would have slapped it to pieces. Of course, the reason for not falling apart was not only the quality, but also related to his own lack of strength.

"Trash, a bunch of trash. When there is no war, they train every day until they retire. Now that the empire has used them, they are all trash!"

In this battle, at least more than 70,000 of the 300,000 reserve soldiers that the empire had assembled a month in advance were killed, and the number of injured could not be counted. In the end, they were withdrawn to the hinterland, and only 200,000 of them retained their combat effectiveness.

Of course, the losses on the infected side are equally huge.

Nearly 20,000 people were killed in the elite troops led by Xia Feng. As for the infected who held on to Foley City, the number of casualties even exceeded that of the empire's reserve troops.

But judging from the huge base of the infected, this loss is nothing.

It's just that those who have passed away will never see Victoria's "spring flowers bloom". Their bodies will be buried in the cold frozen soil after being incinerated.

This is Xia Feng's first time to personally participate in a war involving hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, with his current mentality, no tragic scene can scare him away.

Yin Hui stayed with him throughout the whole process to assist him in commanding, and would even take risks with him to rush to the front line. With the reliable boss Yin around, he felt a lot more at ease.

Two days later.

The infected army quickly adjusted everything without any unnecessary hesitation. After withstanding the first wave of resistance from the empire, they would of course continue to attack the northern hinterland.

Before departure, Penguin Logistics sent information again.

Different from the previous information mobilized by the enemy, this time's information gave Xia Feng great confidence in victory in the tragic war!

I don't know what method they used, but Aneng and the others successfully communicated with the Northern Military Region, which had "lost contact" with the empire.

Xia Feng learned about the "mutiny" that occurred in the Northern Military Region from the intelligence returned by Penguin Logistics, and also learned that it was all caused by bagpipes.

The exciting news left him speechless.

Thousands of words can only be condensed into one sentence, bagpipe NB!

Finally, Penguin Logistics conveyed to Xia Feng something that Bagpipe asked to bring to him.

[Xia Feng, I have done everything I can do. Next, it is up to you. Do you still remember the ideals we talked about? Come on, we must create a Victoria with no contradictions, no disputes, and peaceful ideals. 】

The Northern Military Region, which Xia Feng had been worried about before, turned into a "decoration", which instantly tilted the scales of victory towards them.

In this way, he no longer needs to worry about the pressure from the Northern Military Region. The biggest threat is the Central Army that had previously withdrawn from the south.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Xia Feng waved his hand decisively.

A small number of infected people were left to occupy the northern cities that had been captured to improve the supply line to the front line. The rest of the people launched an all-out attack on the northern hinterland, with the final destination being Londinium!

Of course, if you want to finally attack Londinium, you have to pass through several large cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If these cities are garrisoned by the Central Army in advance, they will not be able to cross.

Otherwise, they will face the danger of being surrounded and suppressed on the flanks and even the back. Using the city as a formation, the Central Army will be able to advance and retreat freely.

Standing on the top of Beiyuan City, Xia Feng took a look at his broken hand.

[The fusion rate of somatic cells and Origin Stone is 16%]

[The crystal density of blood source stone is 0.53u/L]

[Critical period: 14]

[Countdown to the next cycle: 11 days]

11 days is the deadline for the black and white twins. At the same time, for the infected army, these 11 days can also be called the golden period of counterattack.

This battle was no matter the cost, and he could not give the empire any chance to breathe.

Xia Feng was never blindly confident. He knew very well what he was facing. In the face of a powerful empire, the advantage ahead was only temporary.

Taking advantage of the Northern Military District, which is restrained by bagpipes, he must push away the enemy's "base" in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, as long as you slow down a step, the scale of victory may be reversed in an instant.
